Generated filenames with custom suffix

[xedrac]

Feature Request

Crate

tonic-build

Motivation

I work a project that runs multiple code generators over our proto files, and I'm encountering a filename conflict between tonic and another generator. This got me thinking that the C++ grpc generator allows you to specify an output suffix, and it'd be great if tonic allowed the same level of flexibility.

Proposal

Looking through the code, I see:

/// Generated services will be output into the directory specified by `out_dir`
/// with files named `<package_name>.<service_name>.rs`.
pub fn compile(self, services: &[Service]) {
    ...
    let out_file = out_dir.join(format!("{}.{}.rs", service.package, service.name));
}

I'd like to change this to something like this:

    ...
    let suffix = format!("{}.rs", service.custom_suffix.unwrap_or(""));
    let out_file = out_dir.join(format!("{}.{}{}", service.package, service.name, suffix));
}

So by default the behavior would be unchanged. But it would now allow for more complex build situations, like my own.

My hope is to be able to do this file.proto -> [package.]service.grpc.rs

Alternatives

Not really. Just thought I'd document a case where the existing solution is not flexible enough for my needs.
